Girls being bartered
for she-camels and bold steeds
brindled goats and baaing sheep?
By the beliefs we have studied
the Holy Book won’t have it.

Plunderers who profited
and bargained for a beauty
in the bustle of commerce
such backwardness won’t do.
Begin with back to school
with reading books and writing:
you bumpkins can’t just throw us back
we wide awake believers!
